Hey, guys. I was having a discussion with a coworker about private transfer of handguns in NJ with a PPP. As we all know, one copy gets submitted to the NJSP, one to the buyer's PD (if not under NJSP jurisdiction), the buyer keeps one, and the seller keeps one. Nothing gets submitted to the seller's PD. Considering that this paperwork is used explicitly for registration by your local PD, what happens to the pre-existing registration at the seller's PD? They would have no knowledge, unless contacted by NJSP, that he ever sold that handgun. Obviously he'd have to keep a good track of his own paperwork in case they ever came knockin', but it's definitely possible for duplicate registrations of the same handgun throughout the state. Similarly, when one moves to a different township and applies for a change of address FID, does the registration paperwork from the previous township get forwarded to the new one? Obviously, if he/she never applies for an FID, it would still sit at the original location. I'm just wondering how accurate the municipal registration records can actually be with these caveats. I think it's great, personally, if their registration system is useless since I feel that it serves no legitimate purpose other than confiscation, but I'm still curious as to how they handle these different situations.
